Ace is a 9-year-old Boxer in Kings, IL, who needs $300 for Low dose Dexamethasone Suppression Test.

Kings, IL

Ace was given to me about a year ago from his owners who no longer had time for him. Being a huge boxer fan I was so glad to add another to my family as my previous two had passed away. He currently lives with my pack at Critter Corner.. a little farm where I take in senior, hospice and special needs dogs. Not being a rescue it can get tough sometimes when more than one is sick at a time. Ace is one of the biggest dogs in my pack but he is also one of the most gentle and quiet. He is my shadow and his little nub tail wags whenever I talk to him or when I give him hugs. He goes about his day and really only gets excited when I come home from work or its time to eat! I even get kisses when I come home everyday! His favorite thing in the world is his tennis ball. He will entertain himself pushing it around and dropping it so it bounces. His little nub tail wag always make me smile. And he is a pro at begging especially for pizza crust. I throw it up in the air and it disappears in one gulp. I don't even think he tastes or chews it! Ace has been drinking a lot of water and going potty a lot as well. His appetite is crazy and now he has these awful sores on his neck. We were at the ER Vet and did bloodwork which showed possible Cushings disease. In order to find out for sure he needs a day long test. This is the only way to find out if he has Cushings. For the past nine years there have been many dogs through these doors. It is just me taking care of all of them and when one gets a complex medical issue it can be tough financially. With the recent large ER Vet bill for Ace money is tight but he needs further tests.
